(I was told to make a new topic on this, so, here it is)

A while back, I was missing loads of .vxd system files, and I copied it back. However, my laptop is so old, I have to swap out the CD/Floppy drives, unless it's in the docking station. We tried copying the missing files to the laptop, and it's comming up with a file missing error, with most of the directory listing cut off, and says that it could also be low on memory. I have not deleted any of the files, either. The only way I can do anything, is to boot into DOS. From there, I can use a floppy, but not a CD. I'd install Windows again, except since it does not recognize the drive, and I have no floppy install disks. Any suggestions?
